Frankfurt bans Hell's Angel

(Reuters) - Citing a history of weapons offences and violence, a German state banned two Frankfurt-based chapters of the Hells Angels on Friday and confiscated their assets.

"These gangs are not in any way made up only of harmless motorbike riders," Hesse state interior minister Boris Rhein said at a televised news conference.

"Many members are known to the police because of violent, drug or weapon-related offences."

Is Lotus bringing an all-new model to Frankfurt

Lotus released a teaser of an unnamed and unseen car (well not very clearly anyway) facing a  boxer. Why a boxer? that's a real mystery.
This is a screen capture of the mystery car, it could be an upgrade of a current model or if it is an all new model, then it is the Esprit... we assume this because Lotus had said earlier that they do not have the financial resources to develop two cars at the same time and they felt the flagship Esprit should be developed first.
My guess? An extreme Evora, maybe with a Lexus V8...the engine they were thinking about when they first started the Lotus revival plan

REVEALED: Production version of VW Up bares all before Frankfurt

Production car retains most of the concept's look and feel

The production version of VW Up, Wolfburg's interpretation of the K-car is  looking very good with clean lines, nice proportions and the usual neat detailing that the VAG group is well known for

This is the concept version and in my opinion the production car is more pleasing to look at.
